NPR Examines Legacy Of Walter Reed Army Medical Center's Institute Of Research In Battle Against Malaria
"As the Walter Reed Army Medical Center decamps from its D.C. campus this month and merges with the Bethesda Naval Hospital five miles away," NPR reports on the legacy of "the center's Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, housed for the past decade on its own campus in Maryland, just outside Washington, [as] one of the world's premier research centers for infectious diseases." The piece, which is part of the news agency's series on the closure of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, notes, "No other place has done as much to prevent and treat malaria. And certainly, no one has done it so cheaply."
